Going from Liberty GB to CM7

So I'm currently running a nightly of Liberty Gingerbread (v0.7) on my D2, and I'd like to try CM7. Can I go straight from Liberty GB to CM7 since my kernel is updated for Gingerbread? Or do I have to SBF? I know that I will have to wipe the data and cache. Sorry if I got any of that wrong, I know almost nothing (read: noob) and have just been trying to read stuff to learn
Thanks

- Download the CM7 zip file
- once done, change that CM7 zip file name to update.zip
- delete update.zip if you have it on the root of your SD Card and put that new update.zip on there
- download gapps zip and put on root of SD Card
- go to mounts and storage
- format system
- format data
- format cache
- mount system
- go back
- go to apply update from zip
- select the D2-CM7-test7.zip (the one that was renamed to update.zip)
- install
- go back and select install zip from sd card
- select gapps zip
- install
- reboot

Note: Do not reboot after you flash CM7. Stay in recovery and flash gapps zip right after it is done installing CM7.

After you are all done with that, get your phone to settle down and apps restored from the Market. Reboot your phone one more time before the next step (possible radio error).

I am currently running Liberty GB v.09 and thinking about trying CM7. I have downloaded the CM7 file and gapps file. Can I use Astro file manager to rename CM7 file ? and how do I replace the current update.zip with the new one. Sorry for all the questions. Been on liberty so long finally want to try something new. Thanks

I tried it the update.zip way and install from sd card way. Was getting that error no matter what. So I stayed in CMR the whole time thinking of what to do. Then I flashed the monster GB leak and same thing happened.

I then went back to flashing the CM7 file and still got the error. So I just rebooted and everything seems fine. Radio works fine. Any ideas?
